Caliber is measured in inches. That must be a 6.75 mm.
Actually, I seldom wear jeans. The suit pants have larger pockets and I am able to maneuver the pistol quite well in the pocket. With a jacket on, I am able to do most anything I need to without signalling my actions.
This has been born out on the range and in practice. I do not really want to ever depend on the maneuver but I always like having other options. Of course the best option is to not be where trouble occurs.
Are you referring to my post regarding the following:
A Beretta cal. 6.35 Gardone V.T made in Italy in 1957...
or Bruce Jenner
Yes.
Then you're mistaken, the information I posted was taken directly from the pistol I have in my possession. It's highly unlikely it was miss stamped............
Since it’s Italian, maybe the mm designation is implied.
Sorry, got the number wrong. I’m FReeping from a smart phone, and it’s klunky.
Again with pontification based on the Ellifaitz study, which was neither scientific nor broad-based.
Garbage On, Garbage out.
I probably don’t need to tell you, but for any newbie, depending on how you hold it, don’t forget the slide will try to reciprocate. A reciprocating slide hitting against a wrist bone could be a bad thing, especially a 9mm.
Yep - I have a couple small .380s...usually use a small holster but a watch pocket works fine ...
I always wonder about an article that uses the word “pistol” for revolvers....Dirty Harry didn’t carry a pistol....
A .22 almost killed President Reagan...
Yes it did. A .22lr has a little more power than a .25 and the .22 bullet being made of lead will fragment more (generally). It was the fragements that got the Gipper. A .25 is jacketed and even a hollow point may not even expand. Most .25’s you see are really cheap POS’s. I had one and just releasing the slide could make it go off. 1970’s era ghetto pimps swore by them.
All a .25 has going for itself is extreme concealability. A 380 has almost the same concealability with twice the punch. Neither are ideal though and both are better than nothing.
Sniper, huh? Parsing words but omitting fact. “Operator” is a common term among special ops and other higher tier elements. But you really do know that. I am glad your mom was a telecoms operator back in the day, ask an under 20 something what an operator is and they will not tell you about your mom’s job.
That was my meaning without coming out and saying it. Didn't do a good job of it.
>>>Stopping the attack does not mean to end a person’s life with a big .357 magnum<<<
The Dirty Harry Character used a Smith and Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum Pistol, just like the one I have in my Gun Cabinet.
Sorry. Glad to hear it. In situations like this, we must be sure get the truth out to the unwary on this site and all viewers.
